Lincoln Review.



Watched Lincoln Starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones.  The film was just incredible and very rousingly wonderful.  The film was a remarkable picture that completely captures the battle that would define the legacy of Abraham Lincoln, as he fought valiantly to amend the constitution to abolish slavery, months before his death. Quite simply, this is the best film about American politics dedicated to cinema of the year. Daniel Day-Lewis, who plays Abraham Lincoln, delivered a exhilarating performance that is deserving to win at the Academy Awards. His gestures, mannerisms, posture and physical acting lead you to believe he really is Lincoln. The attention he put into the physical dimension of the role really sets his performance apart. Sally Field was just amazing as Mary Todd Lincoln. Her performance was so versatile and very emotionally convincing. The really man whom was on top of his game was Tommy Lee Jones in a stand-out performance as the Radical Republican congressman Thaddeus Stevens. Jones gave such a fierce and motivated performance that he just steals every scene of the film. Steven Spielberg did such an amazing job as director in the film, his vision about the history of Lincoln with an excellent projection of the cameras that transported back in time to 1864 America was extraordinary well done. Spielberg not only created a movie; he crafted a universe. The sets, the costumes, the props are all perfected to look like 1864 America. This film is simply another triumph for Spielberg.  The film almost runs on no music for most of the time but the scenes demanding background score were superbly orchestrated by John Williams. Cinematography by Janusz KamiÅski and editing by Michael Kahn was crisp and top notch brilliantly well done. The script and dialogue was just beautifully and excellently written by Tony Kushner.  The script and dialogue develop great character development for each character and created a visionary world come to life. Although the film was a bit slow, it will entertain and keep you very engaged in this film. The film was very gripping and inspirational that is historically accurate.  This movie is just a great masterpiece and at times very funny to watch. I will give this film an A+++++.  I recommend everyone to watch this awesome movie.
